Tidal evolution of orbits of grown-up particles for Disk1 (left panel) and Disk2 (right panel). Solid lines indicate orbital evolution of particles with time, and long and short dashed lines, respectively, indicate the Uranian radius and corotation radius. Here, gravitational interaction between particles is not considered. When particles’ orbits overlap, they are merged into one based on the law of mass conservation.
